The Firm
Leadership
Sustainable Gaps is built on the conviction that advisory should be accountable. The firm is led by someone who has operated in the gap between strategy and execution long enough to know where it costs the most.
Erik Herring
Erik's background spans business development, operational diagnostics, and strategic intelligence across public and private sector environments. He built Sustainable Gaps around a single conviction: that consultancies should be able to prove their recommendations held up — not just that the engagement was delivered.
His BD experience informs the firm's approach to pipeline and client intelligence: the same discipline applied to closing a complex deal is applied to auditing the decisions made inside an engagement. Pattern recognition, conversion velocity, and outcome tracking are not sales tools at SG — they are operating standards.
SG operates in Energy and Manufacturing because those are the sectors where the cost of a weak advisory relationship is measurable, immediate, and hard to obscure. That is where the methodology matters most.
